  • What will I need to start this course?

    Given this an online course, you will need a computer or a tablet and access to the internet.

For the US and all other countries, how to choose a good quality massage table is discussed in the course.

From A to Z. You will not be disappointed. Brandon Raynor and his production team have created a teaching course that defies the borders of in person teaching with extremely good details both in video and text form. I have done several online courses and if I could choose only one I would definitely choose this one. Full of technical details and created from a holistic perspective, this course will give you all you need to understand how to help people, how to find tension in the body and how to heal the person by removing that tension. I can’t thank Brandon Raynor enough. He is a kind soul dedicated to help the world by literary giving away the knowledge he has gathered during more than 3 decades. I completely recommend this course.

Just finished this course and I have to say it was excellent! The modules are set out really well and I like that it saves your progress as you go and you can also revisit parts you want to reflect on. The videos are well filmed, easy to follow and understand. It was a really good amount of theory and practical hands on experience. It was easy to put what I was learning into practice on family members and also on myself. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the Raynor's massage technique. I highly recommend this course! 10/10
